Slight changes to weblog

At Steve’s request, I’ve turned off the threaded comments and reinstated the “numbered comments”. This means that if comments are held up for moderation or deleted, references to comment numbers will go astray.

I’m also experimenting with a new plug-in to enable commenters to preview their comments prior to submission. This should help all of us who struggle with bad speling, bad html, bad paragraphing ((c) Steve McIntyre 2005) and just bad language which on second thought, you’d like to change.

If anyone has further suggestions on weblog modifications then please add comments to this thread only.

And of course my wish that when you return to the main menu from a thread you return to where you were rather than the top of the list. (I assume this either requires either cookies or a database on your server to store for a while where a given visitor was at when last going to a particular page.)

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

Re 18 and 19: Thanks John and Jerry. I don’t think it has anything to do with database locking – it’s been a persistent error for several days now. I’ve cleared cookies and cache – no luck. I’ve also tried both IExplorer and Firefox – same error in both cases. I’m stumped – it seems I’m the only one with this problem?

It looks like a DNS lookup problem. When I use a bookmark in Firefox the DNS is taken from my local machine. When I type in the address a DNS lookup request is sent to my ISP. If there is a problem with your ISP’s DNS server it will affect everyone on their network, you might want to contact them.
